Gift and Toy Donations
The Child Life department at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital is extremely grateful for those interested in making a donation for our patients. Please keep in mind that we are unable to accept donations of used toys (including stuffed/cloth toys) due to the hospital's infection control policy.
Donation Guidelines
- Due to strict infection control purposes, all donated items must be new and unwrapped.
- We do not accept latex balloons, candy/food items, or violent toys.
- In order to ensure patient safety and abide by patient confidentiality regulations, gifts cannot be delivered directly to patients by the donor(s).
Drop-Off Instructions
You may drop off your toy donations at any Nicklaus Children's Outpatient Center.
If you have any questions, please call 786-624-2880 or email toydrive@nicklaushealth.org.
